Top-3 Predictions for Napoli vs Salernitana
Bookmaker Rating prediction one: Napoli win and over 2.5 goals – 1.48
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams To Score No – 1.67
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Goals Handicap Napoli -2 – 1.74
Napoli win and over 2.5 goals
After a rough five-match spell in December when they lost first place of Serie A, Napoli have started 2022 in winning ways beating Sampdoria and Bologna with clean sheets. The only thing missing the Blues is more goals which may be available in numbers against bottom club Salernitana.
Both Teams To Score No
Napoli had three clean sheets in their last five matches. Moreover, Spaletti’s team still have the best defense in Serie A despite losing three of their last eight games. Salernitana on the other hand, have not scored against any of the top nine teams this season and failed to score in five of their last six matches.
Goals Handicap Napoli -2
It was since the end of November that Napoli had won by over two-goal margin. That was over Lazio by 4-0. In the last round, the Blues beat Bologna by 2-0 and it seems Spaletti’s team is back on track in terms of scoring goals and are expected to win here by at least two goals.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Napoli vs Salernitana
Napoli will be looking to register their third win in a row as they host Salernitana. However, Spaletti’s team is suffering against teams playing compact defense. Clearly, that was the case in the Spezia and Empoli matches in which the Blues lost them both.
In their last two matches, Napoli had two clean sheets as Spaletti’s men seem to have recaptured their form of the early season when they won eight straight games. Certainly, it is the best time to get back on form for Napoli as they are four points away from Inter who have a game in hand.
Although mathematically Salernitana still have a chance to survive in Serie A, they need to start winning. They need a miraculous transformation both offensively in which they are the weakest with 13 goals scored and defensively where they have the worst record after conceding 49 goals
With ten points from 21 games, Salernitana are eight points behind safety. They have conceded the first goal 16 times this season while the Garnets led at halftime just twice out of 21 matches.
A fine away win in their last trip to Verona may give boss Stefano Colantuono’s men some hope, still, they need to perform above level to trouble Napoli.
Safe Bet
Napoli led at halftime in ten of their 22 matches this season. And in five matches the Blues won both at halftime and full-time. We think against a side like Salernitana it is safe to bet that Napoli will win in both halves with odds of 1.53.
Napoli vs Salernitana First Goalscorer
Osimhen has scored the first goal of a Napoli match four times this season. However, the Nigerian lost the path to goal in 13 matches and was dropped by Spaletti in recent matches. Dries Mertens is playing very well upfront and we think the Belgian will be the first goalscorer in this match.
Napoli vs Salernitana Team News
Spaletti has three players playing in the African Nations Cup, Koulibaly, Anguissa, and Ounas. In defense, Koulibaly is a very important player for Spaletti. Lorenzo Insigne is still injured and his absence is limiting Napoli’s pace in attack. Keeper Ospina is also injured but substitute Alex Meret is doing very well.
Three defenders are injured for Salernitana, Gagliolo, Jaroszynski, and Strandberg which might make selection difficult for coach Colantuono. Also, veteran Franck Ribery is injured which is depriving his team of his experience.
Napoli vs Salernitana Lineups
Napoli: Meret, Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Rui, Lobotka, Ruiz, Elmas, Lozano, Mertens, Zielinski.
